A divorce likely will bring frustration and sadness, as well as other emotional upheaval. At The Law Offices of Sheila S. Cascio, the focus is on the needs of the client.

Attorney Cascio believes that it is critical to move through a divorce proceeding as quickly as possible in order to minimize the impact on the individual filing for divorce, as well as any children who may be affected by the divorce.

There are many different matters that must be addressed during a divorce action in Connecticut, including:

• The division of property, such as residential properties, vehicles, furnishings, artwork, jewelry, investment properties, savings accounts, retirement accounts, stock portfolios, and deferred compensation;
• The calculation of alimony and child support, as necessary;
• The evaluation of a child custody plan and visitation schedule;
• The valuation of any family or small business, professional practice, or any other business interest – this may involve a negotiated resolution of issues so that the business can continue to operate as a going concern and the conceding spouse may receive a greater division of property; and
• The analysis of finances in order to discover if any hidden assets can be found.

Attorney Cascio has extensive experience working with individuals of moderate to high net worth, providing her with the insight about when to turn to financial experts, including accountants and tax professionals, in order to maximize her clients' benefits and minimize the financial risk at the conclusion of a divorce proceeding.
